hey i have just fitted a new exhaust on my 02 sti this week and since the install my BOV has changed its sound. I have the standard 02 BOV on the car but when on boost the valve makes the normal sound and then changes into a sound similar to a dose pipe sound. I took it to a mech and they said it should be fine. Has anyone else had a problem similar to this???

yeah, you just need to change your driving style a bit, how you would with a dose-pipe to get a similar sound.

hope that helps : )

nope its not to do with my driving style. If the topmount intercooler was lower that normal could that have an affect on the hose which could cause a dose like sound from the BOV?

Dose sound...PMSL....Zuzuztut boot tututut...kinda like that!!!

Kinda like pidgeons...

Bahahahaha...sorry dude, just takin' the piss!

Probably find with the new exhaust - ur now able to hear wastegate in addition to the bov

Was under the impression that the pounds being bled by the wastegate is heard through the intake such as when fitting a pod filter. Was unaware the exhaust side of the car would have such a noise change.
